Project Overview
The homeowners in Anoka wanted more than just a siding replacement. Their old siding had lost its color and wasn’t holding up well against Minnesota’s extreme climate. They wanted an exterior that combined lasting performance with classic style.
Craftsman’s Choice installed James Hardie lap siding in Light Mist, a soft neutral color that brings a clean, fresh appearance to any home. Paired with Arctic White trim, the design highlights the rooflines and architectural details, ensuring the house stands out with sharp definition. To add character, we included Hardie shutters, which framed the windows and gave the exterior a touch of traditional charm.
Beyond aesthetics, the upgrade provides the homeowners with confidence knowing their home is protected. James Hardie siding is engineered for Minnesota’s climate, resisting fading, pests, and damage from freeze-thaw cycles. With ColorPlus® Technology, the Light Mist siding will maintain its crisp appearance for decades with minimal upkeep.
The finished project is a timeless transformation. By pairing Light Mist siding, Arctic White trim, and Hardie shutters, this Anoka home now has both welcoming curb appeal and the durability homeowners need in Minnesota.
